About the Author
Simon Beckett worked as a freelance journalist for national newspapers and magazines before turning to write fiction full time. A visit to the Body Farm in Tennessee was the inspiration for what has become a number one bestselling series of thrillers featuring the forensic anthropologist David Hunter — The Chemistry of Death, Written in Bone, Whispers of the Dead, The Calling of the Grave and now The Restless Dead. He is also the author of five standalone psychological thrillers, including Stone Bruises and Where There’s Smoke, which have also been international bestsellers.
